The Ashern Rodeo is making its return to the community this weekend. President John Bezemer says the board is excited to have people back in the stands.
"Personally I'm looking forward to seeing the crowds and all the people coming out to enjoy everything going on, it's greatly been missed by both myself and the entire board. We've been sitting idle for two and a half years now and we kinda want to get back into the grove and spirit of the weekend again."
Bezemer says there are some changes coming to this year's rodeo that people can look forward to.
"We've got a few new food vendors coming this year, and lots of things people usually expect. One big change is we managed to get our grandstands fully licensed this year so people are able to sit in the shade and enjoy a beverage of their choosing."
